description of the farm: 1.5 acre section of old growth mesquite forest bordered by more forest to the south and west, and a lamb field to the east. We have been working the land for 3 years now, using sustainable farming and permaculture methods to cultivate an array of vegetable crops, fruit trees, mushrooms, medicinal herbs, and flowers, as well as raise animals. We have a large vegetable garden, herb garden, a cornfield, edible gardens throughout the forest, over 200 fruit trees, mycological laboratory and 5mx10m mushroom fruiting greenhouse, 15 chickens, 10 turkeys and 2 horses. We are constantly expanding and creating new things on the land as well as maintaining ongoing projects. Projects include watering, harvesting and maintaing veggie and herb gardens, mushroom work either in lab or greenhouse, animal care (mainly 2x daily feeding with option of grooming/exercising horses for those with experience) making and maintaining composts (worm, garden, food scrap), building projects (ongoing and optional to those interested/experienced) ex: stone house, platforms, palapas, fences, etc., garden and orchard development and planting (not a main focus at the moment but an option), seed germination, general land maintenance and cleaning. We want to people to do the work that they are best at and is most gratifying, therefore we are flexible with needs and considerate of yours. There may be a week when a certain project dominates the work hours but we generally want people to do something that they are skilled at and inspires them.
